“Through Love, Serve One Another” - Galatians 5:13-14

Hazel’s faith was always at the center of her life.  She willingly and joyfully served her family, friends, and church community; no one left her house hungry or without roses from her garden.  Hazel was an avid quilt-maker.  She was loyal, nurturing, and strong-willed; a powerful example of what it looks like to use your talents for the greater good.

Visitation will be Monday, April 10th from 11- 1 at Chambers and Grubbs, 45 North Main St. Walton, KY 41094. Funeral services will be held directly after at Chambers and Grubbs.
